Come and see.
One of our early settlers gives this
prophecy for the coming season: Cool
weather viii prevail during the next six
months, and the later rains Will be more
abundant than those OF early spring,
though even then there will be sufficient
moisture to successfully raise early vege-
tables. Our prophet has sufficient faith
In his diyination to enter upon his farm
duties with hope and earnestness.
Two or three weather breeders" OF
late have sent mercury up to almost sum-
mer heat, only to drop, the next day,
below freezing point. Little patches OF
snow have informed us that others were
eoduring blizzard, and so We wrap our
cloaks closer, button our coats little
tighter, and feel thankful that We suffer
but slightly from the storm, for March is
trying hard to make ion-ike exit.
C. b. Hay is again our station agent,
and everybody is glad Mr.. Hay asked
to be transferred from Wa-Keeney here,
as the duties there were too great for his
strength. He came up Saturday and re-
ieyed Mr.. Crozier, who has been given
the station at Kanopols. Mrs. Hay and
family arrived yesterday. The citizens
of Kanopolis will find in Mr.. Crozier a
faithful railway employee as well as an
accommodating agent.
Our people feel quite honored in having
resident Of Collyer appointed as COM
missioner of forestry, and extend hearty
congratulations to their friend, s. G.
Robb. An effort is being made to secure
the forestry station, and $500 has been
pledged if certain piece of land corner
ing on the town site can be obtained.
As Wa-Xeepey is the county seat, and
also enjoys the benefit arising from hav-
ing the Q. S. land Office, she can afford
to let some other portion of Trego county
have this plum.

The cold wind storm of Saturday even
ing did not deter Miss G. 3. Whistler,
county president of the ". C. T. O., from
coming to Collyer to fulfill her engage
ment She addressed a good-sized audi

and objects of the W. G. T. O., prefacing
her remarks by reading Scripture lesson
from Jeremiah 35, to all OF which the
closest attention was given. At the close
OF her ''talk" the pledge was passed and

address. She came to us stranger, but |
we parted with her as friend, highly |
for whom there awaits q cor
